HxHD Changes

[ChickenFaces]

They tried doing events before but it didn't work. I don't know why it's different now really.

I think Myke answered your query regarding managers answering Habbo questions, there's isn't much more to say about that but 80% of managers would be able to help with the majority of Habbo questions that get asked in the help desk.

Increased events will maybe increase the amount of time it takes for someone to get help however I've been to numerous SNQ's where people walk in and ask a question and someone will answer it eventually, whether it's staff or a member in the room. What's more is they will come in and see that there's something going on, be nosy and perhaps start using Habbox as they find what's going on in the help desk interesting, I know several users that have started using Habbox due to stumbling across the Saturday Night Quiz.

Let's be honest, for years now the Help Desk has never been just a help desk, it's become the centre of Habbox on Habbo - use Habbox? go on Habbo? Got nothing to do? Where do you go - HxHD, we need to cater for these kinds of people as well as people needing help, cause it if twas just focused on help, which it hasn't been for several years the room would be dead. If the events fill the room up that's also beneficial, people will see it on the nav and think "oh that rooms popular, I must go there sometime", I know when I was a noob I used to see the ThinkHabbo room full all the time at the top of the nav and I always wanted to try and get in when it wasn't busy (complete let down when I did get in mind ;l).

Allot of newer habbos will find it difficult as it is, if I was new and the room was being flooded, I know for one I'd find an alternative source to answer my question.

Can't be bothered reading the past 19 pages.. it's a HxHD Feedback thread so it's probably filled with arguments anyway :rolleyes:

Regarding the events issue, it seems the Events Department will have to put aside some time slots in it's amazingly full calendar. Thanks

I've become less and less active in the HxHD so I can't really give my opinion on whether I think the changes will work or not (a lot of the people I used to speak to have either turned odd or left !). I'm not sure I agree with everyone having rights, I think it should be something you have to earn and you can't go giving rights to everyone in the official Habbox room willy-nilly. Someone can apply for HxHD Staff, get a trial the next day and then have rights after a couple of weeks - I find it rather silly that someone can get rights after two weeks, yet someone who's 10x more experienced who's been there for several years don't. In addition, we can also start talking about rankings on Habbox, they are no more "powerful" -I daresay- than a RVR, so why the rights? But then again, forum mods have power on the forum so hey-ho, whatever.

Perm bans - I don't really care, I don't have any respect for morons on an online game.

Read to 17 and couldn't be bothered reading the last two, sorry.

My thoughts:

Nothing to work towards. I lost motivation as I got one report for the two months I had been there (No offence to David and Lizzy who had been busy). I like helping Habbox, I like helping new users but I also like something to work towards and the changes made here don't really help that. And now, I did read the post saying you're staff, do work or be fired or something really really unprofressional posted by Oli. Of course you'd work, but now there is nothing to actually push you to achieve better hours, I can imagine more people resigning quickly. I reached superstaff as I thought it'd be something new and then I was like... now what?

Secondly, all staff having rights? Uhm. Password leakers turned trashers. Go into the room in the middle of the night with rights and you can do whatever you want with it without anyone knowing. One password leaker (before the new system using wired was introduced) leaked it many times before they turned themselves in. It's okay if it was the password being leaked as that can changed regularly. How are you going to track down the person who trashes it?

I would post a comment regarding how unprofessional two staffmembers were earlier in the thread, but I won't.

@Mathew - Stop saying it's full. You can't just cut off 12 hours (or w/e you do) and say it's full.

The point about managers not being able to help, they would only be in a position where they had to if there were not hxhd staff in the room. In most cases aswell, managers are regular on habbo and quite a few have actually worked in hxhd. There will be no decrease in the amount of help hxhd provide.

When you hold events in the HxHD, the room is packed quite quickly, so only regular visitors can take part in what ever is happening. TBH, I don't actually see whats wrong with having the HxHD in a bigger room if your going to start introducing more events now to increase popularity. Yes there was lag... for some. Not all.

I remember Josh (Wiizzz) giving 500 credits to HxHD because at the time we was going to do some quests or something with it. We ended up not doing it as Christmas was coming up. I asked David the other day what happened to it and Martins got it. Will this 500c still be with the HxHD, because you could do so much with it rather than give it to another department which is doing well already.

[Josh]

100 was spent on the wired originally. Not sure why they rebought all the wired for Martin and I haven't even checked it Lizzy's gonna rebuy it.

I agree, all credits should be used to the full potential in other departments and not used for other ones, we practically waste everything we get on HxL.

I have also always said try do really push for international times, I mean I don't think there is a single international staff member left there. International people will NOT be applying for HxHD due to the fact that they don't even know what it is because it is always dead during their times. For HxL it is easier as we have quite a few internationals, but maybe someone needs to stay up later one day or two and do some big event then, and I will guarantee you, that the desk will become better. I remember for times during the AU peaks it was just myself and Josh sitting in a dead desk.

Also, it's not only about maintaining old people, but getting new ones interested in the Habbox brand, and by new people coming to Habbox and being interested, that's how it will succeed in the future, when all the old farts (like me :p) leave.

To add to this, I really admire Dinasaw doing some giveaways at 1am etc... but what time is that for other countries? In Australia, that was 11am so I would have been at school, along with lots of other aussie habbo players so there is one whole country gone. It'd be best to do the big events on a weekend or something similar.

Yeh I'm doing one between 8-10 am GMT this friday for Aussie listeners. It's part of our bigger plan for international promotion !
